Another EZReader.com problem
The showcase page: Only the 5" has linkage (on text only) to details.
The 6" is just a picture and words. No link

Sorry, I meant the PEz. Currently on the website they are out of stock of the Maroon. I am trying to order the red on and either black or purple. The red one is a must. It's a gift and that is the color desired.

Dear CCampbell and All:

Understood. The new shipment, including plenty of Maroon is due in today or tomorrow. They will be there!

The offer applies to BOTH the www.astak.com site and the www.theEZreader site. The banner will likely only appear on the www.astak site. Do not worry! You buy between January 30 and the early morning of February 15 and you will get the free light included!! I am here to assure that you get it!

Batteries last for up to 24 hours of CONTINUOUS use

Dear Davimee:

The LED lasts up to 100,000 hours. The batteries last for up to 24 hours of continuous use. You can purchase an AC adapter for the Mighty Bright MiniFlex.

Takes 2 CR2032 Lithium Button Batteries (included)

Dear Acreo Aeneas:

The Mighty Bright MiniFlex takes two CR2032 Button-type batteries that are INCLUDED! Almost any drug store carries replacements and an AC adapter is available.

RobertB,
I hope you are right about the maroon being in. I want to order mine first thing Saturday morning! Thanks.

BTW - I want to say thank you to everyone who has posted questions and information on this site. You have made the decision of getting the Pro 5 a much easier one. Also thank you RobertB for responding so quickly to the post here. It really makes me feel confident that I am getting the right reader and that I have access to someone if an issue arises or if support is needed.

Dear ALL and CCampbell:

The Maroon Pocket PROs DID arrive and they are now in stock. You will be able to order the Maroon on Saturday morning and get the free MiniFlex LED light (just as you can with ANY of the 6 colors).

Thank you for being on our forum and posting and getting the Pocket PRO! I help a little bit on here... but I have learned that people like Wallcraft, Dale, theDucks and Jusmee,Dr. D, Griffonwing (missing now but enormous contributions) and many, many others make this forum great. These people work tirelessly on here to make everyone informed with exact info.

Dale, for example, went to CES and used his off time at night to review new products and provide tips and feedback on how it can be improved before we release. He is absolutely a dynamo! Everyone should be aware of the work Dale does behind the scenes to help everybody BEFORE the release of new introductions and after release as well. Dale has a great sense of humor, a personality that warms all, and the mind of an engineer. One of the most extraordinary people I have ever known. My contributions pale in comparison to his!

But, what really makes this forum great is people like you who post!!

Oh? You guys need to put that on the page then. In which case, I'm going to save up for the one that uses AAs or the Miniflex.

Dear Acreo::

Yes, I have made it very clear to Mighty Bright that all future product should be AAA. The Mighty Bright UltraFlex 2 is already in AAA batteries; but the MiniFlex is not. It is designed, I guess, to be very easy to travel with and light.

The MiniFlex does come with fresh CR2032 Lithium batteries included!! If you buy the AC Adapter you will find those two batteries can last a long time on the road!

Dear RobbK:

I agree. I think the Maroon (red) one is pretty amazing. The day the colors first came in I stated that the Maroon was a gorgeous color. People just were so excited about Slate Blue at that time they maybe did not notice it. The Maroon captures attention and will capture hearts for Valentines Day.

That is a great present!!

Mighty Bright also makes the TravelFlex which uses one AAA battery. The Mighty Bright UltraFlex 2 uses 3x AAA batteries.

Apologies, I meant the MiniFlex2. That's the one I was messing with after my animation class (professor had one). Though the TravelFlex is even more tempting since it's even smaller.

Dear CCampbell:

You are going to love them both! I enjoy talking about it because I love it. It is not so much "company speak"... I really feel that this is an ideal little wonder!

I would be happy to check up for you. Send me a PM with your real name and email address and I will make sure for you. However, I am sure that you will find each one has a Mighty Bright in it!! We are anxious for people to like the lites!!
